"the law" is full of loop-holes and inconsistencies
...." While often categorized as a democracy, the United States is more accurately defined as a constitutional federal republic.
What does this mean? “Constitutional” refers to the fact that
government in the United States is based on a Constitution which is the
supreme law of the United States. "...
..." In summary, no, the right to life doesn’t exist in the U.S. Constitution. "...
The game of life, full of inconsistencies and loop holes, a snake pit filled with spiders, lizards, and the occasional ostrich with an egg lying on the ground.
Life of an egg, is always in question, as it may roll into a loophole at any time, and slip into greater trouble, or out of harms way.
The arrow of time -----/\/\/\/\/\/\/---> flys, as we ride along, shooting for the golden global rule of law,
A common thread, that 90% of humanity seeks to ride. To find integrity, A holy grail, a light in this tube of tunels and loops, holes and inconsistencies.

If a woman is an adult female human, and a female is an egg producing phenotype, then people who have the organs to do both are simultaneously man and woman. That doesn't change the definition and it doesn't give anyone else justification to claim genders their biology does not dictate.
..." There are four different types of hermaphroditism, as follows:
46, XX hermaphroditism,
...An individual with 46, XX hermaphroditism has two XX chromosomes and the
ovaries of a woman, but has external genitalia that appear to be male.
46, XY hermaphroditism
...An individual with 46, XY hermaphroditism has one X and one Y
chromosome, as is usually seen in males, but the external genitalia are
either not completely formed, or resemble those of females. The internal
sexual organs may be normal, incomplete or absent, depending on the
specific case.
True gonadal hermaphroditism
....An individual with true gonadal hermaphroditism has both ovarian and
testicular tissue, either in the same gonad (referred to as an
ovotestis) or in one ovary and one testis. Some affected individuals
have XX chromosomes, others have XY chromosomes, and others have a
combination of both. Likewise, the external genitalia can vary in form,
from male, or female, to ambiguous
Complex hermaphroditism "....
...Complex hermaphroditism involves other disorders of sexual development beyond simple 46, XX and 46, XY. These may include:
- 45, XO
- 47, XXY
- 47, XXX
This type is not usually associated with a discrepancy between the
internal and external genitalia. Instead, the individual shows abnormal
levels of sex hormones and incomplete sexual development. "....

The End Date of Time
.........Ebuc.....
This magic moment, --taken from old song---
Forever til the end date of time,
We blaze a trail, or set our sails,
Taoing within the flow of matter,
Bending, flexing and breathing in,
Then out, the rush of expiration,
And we pause, treading the flow of matter all around us,
Feeling the power, we hold on for dear life,
Whoa camel! Good camel, good camel,
Alive in the desert of contemplation, for survival,
We look around, and take inventory of our existence,
( ** ).... ( . . )...( @ @ ).....( 8 * ))...... all one, one for all,
A principle and religous ritual, an integrity of soul,
A pattern of data, with a soul for life. Yes! Yes!
I live, so that others can see the pathway of living soul,
Of a the existence of even a good soul, til the end date of time.

"The best predictor of future behaviour is past behaviour." James Kelley, Ph. D.
Or as Bucky Fuller presented, '...the further back we can pull our arrow, --into the past---, the further forward were best able to see our forward trajectory to the future....'
Patterms of behaviour, as set within the context of environmetal circumstances of those dates of time.
Well, there is an eternal motion of flow, ergo, we have not choice, however, we do seemingly have choice of directing the flow, this way,and that way, and back around old patterns, as the flow brings us to new and semi-related old patterns of behaviour.
Each of a complex of sine-waves, spirally within the flow of all that matters and all that matters to special-case set of possiblities that occur in the ever flowing stream of matter as consciousness and consciousness as what does, and does not matter to us, /\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/

However, going beyond the article below, men are more visual oriented than women, in so far as, men are more easily excited by curves of woman, than woman is
by the less curves of male. Generally speaking
..." Sex differences in response to visual sexual stimuli are widely
acknowledged, although poorly documented. A common presumption in
society and the media is that men respond more strongly to visual sexual
stimuli than do women. "....
Here is another differrence that relate to both of the above; .....women need a reason, men just need a place....
..." Further, navigational success, as defined by both speed and accuracy, is
higher [--for men--] when navigating based on cardinal directions compared with
landmark directions in virtual environments (Hund & Minarik, 2006), but women tend to navigate based on route strategies more so than with cardinal directions (Fields & Shelton, 2006). However, when men and women are both primed to navigate with landmarks, the gender differences shrink (Hund & Minarik, 2006), suggesting that priming for cue use can influence navigational outcomes. "
My wife and both enjoy using map, but I tend to recall a pathway based on visual cues in memory of specific image ergo men are more spatial/visual oriented with their brains.
Women less so with the visual and more something else. They way the feel. Women tend more toward a way a location made them feel and less of the visuals.

Ori..."...."In one modern view, trade exists due to specialization and the division"..."
Humans are more of the generalization type due to the complex results of the brain functions i.e.. humans have mental ability to adapt to life on land { cold or hot }, ocean { above and below }, and outer space.
The many componets needed to adapt these specical-case set of circumstances, requires a specialization on specific technologies and then the sharing of ideas, and item parts to create the more complex technologies to adapt to various circumstances.
Some other animals have a community aspect to them, yet they do not have the scope of ideas and technologies needed to adapt to so many varied environmental circumstances, in such relatively short periods of time and not thousands of years of biological evolution.
Generalization { macro } = community and tends toward expansive broad considerations
...............................multiplication by inclusion................
Specialization { micro } = individual and tends toward contractive inward considerations
..............................multiplication by division.............

What I am speaking about is not aggression on its own, it is pure lack of empathy, guilt and social-bonding in the brain. Leopards lack all three severely, making them unusually psychopathic for a mammal. Orcas are similar but it wouldbe hard to get hold of and brain scan orcas and certainly difficult to compare them to dolphins or whales.
I agree it is all worthy of study. ..." Results showed that the dogs, having larger brains to begin with, had more than twice as many neurons in their cerebral cortex as the domestic cat,
with around 530 million cortical neurons to the cat's 250 million. (For
comparison, there are billions of neurons in the human brain.) "...
Then there is brain size to body ratio. Here whales and cetacceans my have large brains, but humans may be larger when it comes to ratio of body size of the animal.
"....Lest you think this metric falls apart only in the insect world, the noble tree shrew has the highest brain-to-body ratio of any mammal despite its puny size. Ten percent of its body weight is brain matter.
But if these rodents are smarter than people, they sure keep quiet about

Republicans 'right to life', as a seemingly all-binding constitutional legal stance that is morally and leagally sacrosanct gives them this false belief, --that aligns well with Christian fundamentalist------ that a fertilized human egg is placed on level of life, that is as much, or more than, the mother, and her rights via the morality of being the one is more intimately connected to the egg ----more than any other person on Earth--- and who carries and nourishes the egg for however many months before the fetus/baby ever takes its first in-spiriting breath of air into its lungs.
Following the above non-sense, they have moved to other means of violating ----virtual rapist everyone of them--- a pregnant womans moral rights to privacy and to what she chooses to do with every aspect of her body. These people are sick in the head, and if it were the medieval times this sickness would be expressed in much more violent ways by the Republicans, or at least some 50% or more of them.

If scientists pinpoint exactly what is different in leopard brains vs tigers, lions etc...
Sounds good to me. I seemed to recall some species of dog were more aggressive. Used to claim it was those pit bulls, and I think that was incorrect.
Cat brains are smaller than dogs ergo cats dont learn as well.
It may have a lot to do with the empathy centers of human brains. Dont know if other animals have these empathy centers in the brain.
I may have to look into that aspect more. Did Jeffery Dalhmerr have any empthathy for people he killed and then ate?

Wow! Five swish shots in the basket, game over...V is for Victory...T^ is thumbs to some unknown power value.
The question has been Nyxified by the eye-the-sky. ....Touche'.....
If we could, in a hypothetical scenario, say with 100% certainty that someone was harassing another person, but the person being harassed did not care about it for whatever reason, it's still justified to ban them for harassment. Here's why:
- Somebody willing to commit harassment against someone who doesn't care is capable of harassing someone who does care.
- The kind of person who harasses others is almost without doubt a toxic individual who can only contribute to the site's general culture in negative ways.
- A harasser given the opportunity to fester is a time-bomb of violence waiting to happen if they are not cut off from interacting with their victim.
- If we know that somebody, beyond a reasonable doubt, has harassed other people, they're a bad person and they deserve to be deplatformed. People like that deserve to be treated worse than other people because of their conduct.
- It is not the responsibility of the site and its users to bear the burden of a harasser's conduct and to try and 'help' them in any way. Harassment to the point of being a ban-worthy offence is self-evidently morally incorrect and that fact shouldn't need to be taught

Creatively excellent! Tho a little long winded. :--O I know cause Ive been there myself.
Expressing Ourselves
.........Ebuc...
With reasoning thought
As prose or verse in rhyme,
Some of us are labeled as Poets
Others as philosophers of the mind.
We follow our earnest endeavors
With expressive emotions in kind
True to hearts contentment
Through eternity's embracing of
time.
Lost in our words with passion
As all good souls have befell
Searching for those good ideas,
That ring true like a bell.
We seek the depths of knowledge,
Of whats known and unknown,
We follow a truly great pattern,
A tree of life we have grown.
Branching outward and inward,
May each bud have its say,
Our experiences are continually
unfolding,
Throughout the night and each day.
Biology is recursively recycling,
A regurgative mesh behold,
Of spirits and souls around us,
Exposed as flesh we grow old.
Pleasing all the people,
With concepts and some verse,
Is a challenge for comedians,
Philosophers, poets and worse.
Seek and ye shall find,
All through the historical ages,
All manner of verse and orator,
Mystical and spiritual sages,
Everywhere are to be found.
Words may carry great power,
Of an intense conceptual nature,
They penetrate our essence,
They define all nomenclature.
The rationale that follows
For a prose I combine and concoct,
Is to share a few insightful
revelations,
Of mysteries I may unlock.
No the poems are not simple,
In fact their very complex,
For those who do not grasp them,
May feel that they have been hexed.
Life's Universe can be awful pretty,
Or ugly and guilty as hell,
The way that I have defined it,
Is my own special spell.
Enough already you say!
Please give this reader a break,
From this philosophizing poet,
Whom i can hardly take.
Now you may feel kind reader,
That i have spoken enough,
Of ideas in prose and verse,
Now I sit and ponder
At how you may rebuff.

I did not go to your link. I skimmed through what was written and I believe the your approach via your words is short sided, as it a narrow set of either or, with context of so much more that needs to be considered.
Nuclear and fossil energy sources both have issues. In short run, nuclear adds less to the greenhouse gas issues and that is huge gain for what is obviously occurring.
However, lets be clear, that, if the atmosphere is already over a certain critical limit ---and I believe it is--- what does not appear to be alterable in Earths biosphere future fro some many --if not hundreds of years--, then nuclear alone, is again, a short sighted{ not comprehensive } approach.

Humanity has to voluntarily{ spiritually }, or by force{ violence }, unify to a position of balancing our energy needs to a human population amount hat does not require energy sources that kill off the humans in short or long run, and provides enough energy for our their basic needs, one of which is to find happiness.
This latter part, regarding happiness, cannot be taken lightly, and those who do take it lightly, are part of the problem in humanities future survival on Earth.
Humanity is a long way from the balancing of happiness with ecologically sustain-ability on Earth. Those who believe nuclear energy is the only practical way forward, is short term thinking only.

@ADreamOfLiberty
It is my judgement that Pro made more important points than Con and defended them.
Your approach is not comprehensive i.e. it only considers energy needs for 7.6 billion people and rising, and does not consider, neccessary global changes in society to address the amount of energy needs, if society makes the appropriate changes to require less energy and be happy in the processes to lead to a balance existence with our ecological landscape of Earth.
Not that I see global humanity making in smart decisions in these regards, tho, their soul and spirit of idealism is in the correct place i.e. renew-able energies are the only long term solutions, for global populations, that require less energy ergo lower standards of living in the short run.
Higher standards of living in the long run, however, again this is relative to the amount of humans on Earth as there are limits to any energy source{s}.
It is a balance of the limits{ facts }, to needs{ basics }, happiness{ spiritual }, and doing so in ecologically sustain-able way, for longest period of time.

How is it possible to reconcile such statements?
Think of it this way, if humanity cannot voluntarily { democracy } agree to curb the overpopulation ---in regards to the operational systems currently in place--- then humanity has how many remaining options to pull ourselves out of spiral into global annihilation:
1} a dictator{s} who see the reality of our global problems, and force{ sword } humanity on the path of the straight and narrow solutions to a unity of sorts, or,
2} ?....i.e I dont see on our horizon a global, spiritual and/or educated smart decision making pathway of unification, by humanity, towards this goal of survive, and then prosper under ecological sustained standards of living that allow for a balance of prosperity to an ecological sustain-able humanity on Earth.
It was Mohammad who forced all the tribes into a common{ unity } set of religious beliefs instead of warring with each other.
Currently it appears to be China --if not along with Putin-- that is posed to unify humanity by one means of force and/or other combinations of whatever, as a global solution.
There are plenty who believe that viral or bacterial health pandemics are the natural way to do this and we should not curb economic growth to save lives etc. I.e. the old and weak need to die off and allow the young to take their place, as we cull global over-population issues in this natural process.

..." What does all this mean for the future of global capitalism? Milanovic
finds little on the horizon within either system that would curb the
trend toward greater inequality, let alone reverse it. Despite the
subtitle of his new book, though, Milanovic wisely trains his attention
on the past and the present, steering clear of grand predictions.
.....As he
has pointed out, the economics profession has an abysmal track record
when it comes to seeing into the future. Attempts to make predictions
about societies are, in his view, inherently doomed, because of the
contingencies of human events. To have predicted that a decline in
inequality was going to happen in the first part of the twentieth
century, one would have had to foresee (among other things) the onset of
a global conflagration in 1914—and even as late as 1913 almost nobody
did. "....
..." There is a plethora of studies whose compelling arguments and evidence point to poverty and inequality
as major contributing factors to violent conflict and war. Where people
live under dire economic and social conditions, it is easy to offer pay
as an inducement, especially for young men, to join militaries and
fight either for the state or for non-state actors. "...
..." The
poor are part of the richest peoples’ market. And during war most
common soldiers are from the poorer classes. They are the ones who get
to be in the infantry and die usually. And after wars the very wealthy
suffer far less than regular people. In the end the guys who probably
had plenty to do with starting the war will again profit from rebuilding
the landscape and selling the people food and necessities..."
Putin{ rich }, oligarchs{ rich } and banks{ rich } all serve to gain financially ---in the long run--- from war in Ukraine.

.....I respect someone who...
You respect some who obstructs truth findings in government and private business. Your another one of the 60 million USA Trumpeteer supporters of Jan 6 insurrectionist and their non-sense conspiracy ideas.
1} Reagans hiding of Iran-contra cocaine for weapons, ---see Oliver North----,
.....North, long a hero to some on the political right, was convicted in 1989
of three felonies related to the Iran-Contra affair, but his
convictions were overturned on appeal in 1990.......
2} needless Bush/Rumsfield Iraq war in search weapons of mass-destruction ---see several countries that have weapons of mass-destruction------
.....Indeed, even before 9/11, then-Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld saw
Iraq through the prism of status and reputation, variously arguing in
February and July 2001 that ousting Saddam would “enhance US credibility and influence throughout the region” and “demonstrate what US policy is all about”.....
3} Nixon water-gate ---crimminal pardoned by his successor Republican president Ford----,

As a crisis public relations manager, Manafort had clients that included the Russian-backed president of Ukraine, Viktor Yanukovich, who was driven from power in 2014 amid corruption scandals and violent demonstrations. He fled to Russia.
Putin > Trumpet > Rudy G > Paul Manafort > and that USA general = immoral/corrupt/sinister etc and they get away with it.
Thanks for addtional details, I had not known or forgotten these pieces of crap were all pardoned by Trumpet. Isnt Trumpet also in support of pardoning Putin if, he/Trumpet has any say in the matter?

For instance, you didn't address a single thing I said about Pfizer and Moderna blackballing nations in their negotiations.
Irrelevant to mRNA being better vaccines. You did not address that in first post. If and when the kool-aid stops running through brain, please address info as presented. Lesser vaccines have higher rates of death compared to those who didnt have vaccine, so I repeat, Chile must not have very goo vaccine irrespective your kool-aid induced concerns about " ==^^£¥₩!&@^÷^$&$ " .." trustworthy " and " noble ".

I note that Paul Manafort was pulled off a plane bound for Dubai just
yesterday- trying to flee the country with a revoked passport.
Wa'snt he one of the henchman for Trumpet in Ukraine, and wasnt he pardoned by Trumpet for crimes in USA.
..1} So we orange haired narracist Trumpet,
..2} Gaetz who looks like an alien, and, 3} Paul Manafort who is apparrently an alien experiment gone awry, and,
..4} Rudy G who looks like the ol vampire, Nosferatu. I think were seeing a pattern here related to Trumpets team of politicians
...." Of the pardons and commutations that Trump did grant, the vast majority
were to persons to whom Trump had a personal or political connection, or
persons for whom executive clemency served a political goal.[2][3][4] A significant number had been convicted of fraud or public corruption.[5] The New York Times reported that during the closing days of the Trump presidency,
individuals with access to the administration, such as former
administration officials, were soliciting fees to lobby for presidential
pardons "....

Huh? I dont recalll stating that. I think the koolaid is affecting your ability to be rational, once again.
This is common for you, to flip from one state of rational to kool-aid brain rather quickly. There is medical term for this but I cant recall what it is called.
Flipper or flippant r flip-out. I forget. Again, some times you covid position shows some sanity, and then you flip-out to some other kool-aid state of consciousness.
The quote above is just one example of your seemingly kool-aide like brain flipping .... }@..@{.....

I am going to need 15 more minutes .
LOL, thanks for the humor. Take all the time you need, as your only human. Tho you may have X-human super-natural powers.
Could be X-people do not judge, and will not be judged, as they are beyond normal, and exist in the paranormal beyond dimensions of space and time.
Oh wait, thats what Meta-space { mind/intellect/concepts } is.

JJ and AstraZeneca are far more noble and trustworthy, there is no real debate.
We see above, the flavor of kool-aid you drank Ratman.
At least you trust in some kinda of covid vaccine, so that is half-way to sanity.

" early Christians had been misled into believing the resurrection by the theft of Jesus's body. "..
Mislead? Are you saying narcissistic people with orange hair existed in those times? ;--)
Are you also suggesting early Christians were folly/gullible to paranormal/super-natural conspiracy rumors? ;--)
Come to think of it, maybe Orange hair does give some super-natural powers, or a sign, that, they may be an X-person with paranormal powers.
..." Post-Death
...After Jesus' death and as his followers grew in number, objects related to him became highly sought after, such as the Spear of Destiny, the weapon supposedly used by the Roman soldier named Longinus used to kill Jesus[5] and the Holy Grail which is supposedly a cup in which Jesus turned water into wine at the Last Supper.[6] Doctor Doom was revealed to have splinters of the True Cross in his armor just in case he'd run into Dracula one day.[7]
....Modern Era
.....When Miracle Man returned to the Earth dimension with delusions of becoming a god, he decided to recreate the
Biblical tale of the birth of Jesus Christ. On Christmas Eve, he used
his powers to transfer his Cheemuzwa pursuers into the Three Wise Men and converted the Keewazi reservation into a replica of Jerusalem complete with its own Star of Bethlehem and a baby Jesus. The Miracle Man believed that in creating an even
more immaculate conception, he would ascend to godhood and rule over
man. "

Ok, deb so you could not addressed the question posed to you.
Morals cross over into human-made laws --see war crimes of unethical treatment of soldiers ex torture--- ex it was agreed in some wars pre-1960, to not shoot red-cross workers or those in white hats, who were removing injured soldiers from battle field and to take prsioners those who raised their hands in surrender.
That kind of more moral/spiritual behaviour began to change during Vietnam etc. Totally gone now. All is truly fair in love and war now.

Chris Rock....Never heard of him before this thread.
He{ Chris } was voice of the Zebra in the great Dream Works animation movie, ' Madagascar ". ----See trailer LINK for movie and song ' I like to move it move it '---- A must see movie for those who like good music, dance and funny animation.
The penguins were so hilarious, they went on to have their own movies later own.
Nearly as good or better than Toy Story, because of the music.
Here is utube to the whole song LIINK
Everyody has a line, and apparrently Chris stepped over Will's line of tolerance. I doubt Chris will bring charges, --tho he could and would win easily--, because, it was a learning experience for Chris, and he knows some jokes flop with some of the crowd or all of the crowd.
It appeared to me that will was smililng as he returned to his seat as tho proud of what he did, and not angry at the Chris and the failed joke.

Whats the differrence between Bozo-the-clown and Jesus;
1} the clown{s} is real human{s} found in real life,
2} Jesus, to best of our knowledge, is a fictional character, in a book of super-natural/paranormal phenomena, --- ex virgin birth and rising from the dead---- that, would make have made great ficitional tv as ' Supernatural/Paranormal Phenomena Caught on Camera ', if cameras had existed in those days of the alledged Jesus.

Thats correct, human-made morality, which are relative to circumstances, ergo, they are in no way likened to inviolate cosmic principles, and physical laws.
Circumstances altar cases i.e. each case is judgment relative to the circumstances.
These is what philosophy ---and of course ethics--- is about, to seek out inviolate truths, and find the relative truths, to circumstances involving morality.
Which is more or less moral, or spiritual? ;
..1} to take a life of non-human animal for sacrifice to the alledged gods,
...2} to take a life of non-human animal as nutritional sustenance on daily baisis,
...3} to take a life of a non-human animal, to keep from starving to death in a single desperate circumstances.
